The following pages are intended to provide guidance and assistance with amendments, the drafting and revision of examination regulations.

The amendment, drafting or revision of examination regulations follows a process that sets out the entire timetable to be observed, as well as the committees and ‘stages’ involved.

The current process plan is sent out in the autumn by the Department for Study Affairs to all those involved in the process, with effect from the following year.

The process plan for amendments to the 2026/27 winter semester can be viewed here
The process plan for proposed amendments to the BPO ( General Part and Annex 3) can be found here.
